Stanford Scientists Discover a Way to Convert Carbon Dioxide into Clean Burning Ethanol

“A team of scientists at Stanford University has discovered a way of producing ethanol that doesn’t require any crops, thus freeing up farmland to produce more food and preventing the need to clear more land for cultivation. Principal investigator Thomas Jaramillo said, “One of our long-range goals is to produce renewable ethanol in a way that doesn’t impact the global food supply.”

To accomplish this goal, the team devised a means of converting CO2 into fuels like ethanol and propanol using copper…”
